The parity requirement refers to two or more bond issues with the same payment or seniority rights. In other words, a loan by parity is a loan issued with the same rights on a debt as other bonds already issued. Unsecured bonds, for example, have the same rights, as coupons can be used without one loan taking precedence over another. Unsecured bonds would therefore be classified as parity bonds. Similarly, secured bonds are bonds of parity with other secured bonds. Often, identical items are pari-passu that come with the same benefits and the same cost of other items with which they are grouped. In other situations, objects can only be pari-passu on one aspect or only on certain aspects. For example, two competitors can offer two identical functional widgets at the same price with superficial differences like color. These widgets are functional pari-passu, but can be aesthetically different. The loan agreement generally frames the pari passu clause as: Pari-passu is a Latin term meaning « equal » and describes situations in which two assets, securities, creditors or bonds are managed without preference. An example of pari-passu is found in the bankruptcy proceedings: if the court renders a judgment, the court treats all creditors in the same way and the agent will reimburse them the same fraction as the other creditors. 5.1 The borrower undertakes, with each lot, not to create or accept mortgages, commissions, mortgages, mortgages, assumptions or other charges of any kind on any of its assets, without the prior written consent of the lots, to be classified according to securities, except in accordance with Section 7 of this agreement. If the company`s debts are pari passu, they are all classified in the same way, so that the company pays the same amount to each creditor in the event of bankruptcy.
3.1 The loan granted by the lots under the facility agreement is guaranteed by the securities, as indicated by the « A list » of the lots on a pari passu basis.
